Many of this week’s papers focus on a question I hear often: What's the best way to understand what’s really going on without invasive testing? The research highlights newer diagnostic approaches including advanced imaging, AI-assisted ultrasound, two laser-based techniques. All designed to improve accuracy while reducing unnecessary procedures. Together these papers point toward a clear shift: more precise, less disruptive ways to diagnose PCa.

Today is World Cancer Day. For me, this isn’t just an abstract awareness date on the calendar. Cancer has reshaped how I think, how I practice and how I show up for others walking this road. Today is about acknowledging everyone affected by this disease and recommitting to better information, better conversations and real support for those who need it most. We meet angels in our path every day. Today especially, make a point to be an angel in someone's life.

There, I said it. Tomatoes don’t get nearly the credit they deserve. Lycopene, the deep red carotenoid that gives tomatoes their color, has been consistently linked to prostate health in clinical studies. Perhaps even more interesting, how you eat tomatoes turns out to be just as important as how often you eat them. When tomatoes are cooked, their cell walls break down and lycopene becomes more bioavailable (more easily digested). Add olive oil and absorption improves even further, since lycopene is fat-soluble. In other words, a slow-simmered tomato sauce made with olive oil isn’t just comfort food, it’s one of the most efficient dietary ways to deliver lycopene to your body.

So, I guess I was getting a bit overzealous because the algorithms were telling me that the issues are getting too long. Time to reel it in. Some very interesting papers to share with you this week discussing such things as whether it's better to "seed" your prostate with radioactive material or remove it. There's also one that's much darker, dealing with the suicide rate of men diagnosed with PCa. Sorry to be a downer, but I felt like this was a very important topic to bring out into the open.

As you probably know, Prostate 180 grew out of research I have been doing for the past few years. The book focuses mostly on nutrition and best practices while in treatment for PCa, but it can obviously be helpful for those trying to keep their PSA down.

One of the first numbers most men hear after a prostate biopsy is the Gleason score. For many, that single number immediately triggers fear. I want to slow this down and explain what the Gleason score actually means, because understanding it can change the conversation.

You know what's interesting? Very few women subscribe to this newsletter (that's not the interesting part - I would expect the exact opposite if this were a newsletter focused on breast cancer). What is interesting is that when I post individual articles from Prostate 180 on the socials, the comments, likes, etc. come almost exclusively from women. I'm thinking I chose the wrong name?

For most men, everything gets real when their PSA number goes up. That’s the moment the invisible gland none of us ever think about suddenly becomes a threat. If you are reading this newsletter, then it is likely that things started getting serious when your doctor did a PSA screening and yours was elevated to the point of concern.

Well, the week's almost over. That means it's time for the second issue of Prostate 180. As you probably noticed, I squeezed in a Monday Brief this week. While it's extremely powerful to know what is being published in scientific journals right now, there's a LOT of incredible information already out there to share with you. Who knows, the Monday Brief may turn out to not be so brief after all. Onward and upward.
